Fushigi Yugi
Manga Review
 Art & Story by: Yû Watase
Rating: * * * * (4)
Back Cover Summary: Miaka Yûki is an ordinary junior-high student who is suddenly whisked away into the world of a book, The Universe of the Four Gods. There she becomes the priestess of the god Suzaku, and is charged with finding all seven of her Celestial-Warrior protectors.
Review: This is quite a popular series amongst the shojo type mangas. Yû Watase is known for her love stories...does she write any other genre?
The art in this manga is done pretty well. I love the splash of color in her manga covers in general. Beware though, this graphic novel is loaded with chibis! I personally think, a little too much. There are a lot of humor (like most of Watase's work) I have to say though, the main character Miaka does not look like a 15-year-old. Even in anime years. She looks so childish to be in the center of the many love triangles she's in...Makes me wonder "why?"

Also a good thing to note, this manga is rated "older teens." And if you're a buff on rating, you'll take warning. I'm asuming its rated like that because there's swearing and "suggestive situations." But really, how many t.v shows that we watch already, don't have that?
I would recommend this manga to those who are into romance and cheesey things like random outbursts of "I love you!" As for me, I'm not sure if I'll be continuing the series...the more I re-read this manga, the more corny the dialogue is. Bleh.
So in conclusion, Fushigi Yûgi is a series for the fantasy, romantics out there who are looking for a good read. Hey, atleast there's a plot.
